Blaze, the Peregrine Falcon, flew into a skyscraper window and injured his left wing, leaving him unable to fly.

Canyon, the Golden Eagle, was hit by a plane, suffered nerve damage and can’t fly.

Barf – yes, Barf – the turkey vulture can fly, but he doesn’t know he’s a bird. In a process called imprinting, young Barf started following the first thing he saw — a human being, and believes he is one.

The three birds of prey and more found a home at Hawk Creek Wildlife Center Inc. in East Aurora, near Buffalo, and entertain and educate people at the New York State Fair in three shows daily, at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.

The center’s exhibit is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., near the reflecting pool in the state parks area.

Among the facts you’ll learn:

— Golden Eagles like Canyon can close their talons with 700 pounds of pressure. They hunt fox, jackrabbits and have been known to kill sheep. They are endangered because they are losing habitat.

— Yoga, the Great Horned Owl, flies silently. Horned owls prey on skunks because they has no sense of smell.

— Soren is a Barn Owl. He has a heart-shaped face, also flies silently and has ears that don’t match. Barn Owls can locate prey using hearing alone, and can triangulate prey from ¼ mile away.

— Turkey vultures are scavengers who eat dead things. They can smell rotting animals and fish from 1,000 feet in the air, eight miles away.

— Peregrine Falcons like Blaze have been clocked diving at speeds of 284 miles an hour. They have a bony bump on their heads that they can inflate and deflate.

— Augur Buzzards like Caspian are found in Russia. They can withstand 25 Gs of force. Humans pass out at 9.

Hawk Creek is a nonprofit organization and receives no government funding. More than 80 animals permanently reside at the center, and more than 500 injured and orphaned wildlife are treated each year.

The center is trying to get 2,000 likes on their Facebook page by the end of the fair.
